Pls turn this statement around and ask the exact same thing about fathers.The pro-life supporters always add this statement in parenthesis, with a hand-wave:
(unless she is raped, unless her life is at risk, unless the baby's life is at risk, etc).
Exactly as you have done here. You gloss over these "exceptions", when they actually reveal the problem with pro-life policy. Namely, that to enforce a pro-life policy, we will have to subject woman to a trial/court hearing to be held by some committee, in order to prove that the woman had, in fact, been raped, in mortal danger, etc.
This is a clear violation of the health and privacy of the individual you are interrogating. It is also no place for a government committee.
The soul, a human life -- where/when it "begins" -- when is consciousness "turned-on"; these are all philosophical discussions with no concrete answer. However, the woman you want to interrogate is a living human being, an individual, and that is no longer a philosophical debate. That you have government officials peer into her personal medical history and violate her certain human rights for the sake of your philosophical argument is questionable, to say the least!
To stand against abortion is not a problem, to be sure. To live by that code is also not an issue. To draft legislation, allowing the government to prevent others from doing it is your folly.
We cannot force a father to work for a child.
We cannot force a mother to go into labor.
See the pun here? Actually it isn´t a pun. The male body is "made" for work, just as the female one is "made" for giving birth. This obvious thruth (which will surely by questioned by some; I will give response later) is even represented by chinese characters for female and male: 女 and 男.
I would say, we can indeed force the father into slavery (for sustaining the life of the baby) unless he was "raped" (or his semen stolen). But pro-choice advocates only want rights for women, no obligations. I would also (and here I am an exception) force parents to donate blood, a kidney (or sth else that is reasonable; though some would disagree that a kidney is reasonable).
Obviously, the investment is drastically different in scope. But the enforcement of it and the justification are similar.Now, how the fuck are we supposed to compare abortion to wearing masks?!
